I see that there are many requests for prayer of many different issues. I will definitely pray for you all. Just know that God loves you and will never give you more than you can handle. If it feels like no one is there, know that I'm praying for each and every one of you even though I don't know you personally. But hey, you guys are my brothers and sisters in Christ so I must look after you. None of you are alone. God Bless your hearts! Hi everyone!

Jesus said, "If we love Him we will keep His commandments" - John 14. Peter said in Acts 55:32 that God gives the Holy Ghost to them "that obey Him." So how can we claim to be Christians when we openly break His commandments? We need to pray that Christ will show us whether we desire to do His will at all cost. Certainly we all make mistakes in our Christian walk, but I don't believe we can blatantly continue to break His commandments and claim that we have the Holy Spirit.

Most teens get pregnant to get free housing and welfare benefits. Lots of teens on the streets committing lots of crimes and many people being bullied to the point of suicide. People insist this is a christian nation but only 9% attend church, most youth don't attend youth groups because its not fun enough and when its fun they still find it boring.to top it all off the social, political system are doing their best to limit the christian voice, in the name of tolerance and fairness. Some christian are becoming weak to the point of calling themselves liberal Christians( IS THERE SUCH A THING). there IS A LOT OF BAD THINGS GOING ON AND IT SEEMS SECULARISM/HUMANISM/ATHEISM IS ON THE RISE ESPECIALLY IN THE COLLEGES(UNIVERSITIES). most PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE HEDONISTIC( WANTING PLEASURE) BUT JESUS IS THE WINNER AND GREAT BRITAIN WILL RETURN TO THE LORD REVIVAL IS ON THE WAY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OUR GREAT NATION AS WE HAVE ELECTIONS COMING UP MAY 2010. AM 20 AT THE MOMENT AND VERY GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN A VICTIM OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY...

Even though we’re not many, I know that God can use anyone in anyway to accomplish anything he wants to, and that includes us!" What a great request that is!! I personally believe that God answers the prayers of all who "hunger and thirst after righteousness," regardless of where they live on this planet. Christ said in Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled." I truly believe that the "Doing Hard things" blog can be an instrument for conveying the high expectations of our Lord and Saviour to people like Kelsey who earnestly desire to do the will of God, and that He will make arrangements for her and others like her to be given the gift of the Holy Ghost "to them that OBEY Him," Acts 5:32. Kelsey said that she and her sister could help translate some things into Spanish. What a great thing it would be to translate some of the blogs which target the high expectations of our Saviour into Spanish for her friends who may not be proficient in English. Please e-mail me, rmprince@bellsouth.net, if I can be of any personal help. On Nov. 13th, Kelsy Rose from Spain said, “If you ever find time, please pray for the rebelutionaries here in Almeria.

I'm Kelsey, from Almeria, Spain. You guys asked what the expectations are like in different countries, and I just couldn't resist! In Spain, the teens nowadays have extremely low expectations for life, and nobody expects much from them anyway. In my highschool, for example, one of the girls in my class was caught cheating, and instead of getting on her for cheating, the teacher got on her for not knowing how to cheat. Everyone is just expected to go sleep with everybody, they even hand out numbers for girls to call in case they get pregnant, and need help. When they heard that I was going to keep myself entirely for my husband, they just couldn't understand and thought that I was a nun! I've also noticed that kids talk back to their parents as if it were no big deal. They think that honoring your parents is old fashioned, and that they know what's best for themselves. I find it really hard to understand that the parents themselves expect less than anyone out of their own kids. Church is also perceived as old fashioned and boring to them. Even the Catholic Churches are almost empty on Sundays! The expectations are so low (but I guess this is just Cathlic. . .) that if you get baptized as a 6 month old and do your first comunion when you're 8, you're good to go! Here it's all, "live life today, and get everything right tomorrow." (but as you can guess, they never do!). I think that teens here, and all over the world are in need of a revival. They need God more than ever, and they just can't see it. If you ever find time, please pray for the rebelutionaries here in Almeria. Even though we're not many, I know that God can use anyone in anyway to accomplish anything he wants to, and that includes us! Alex, Brett and all of the others: Thankyou so much for everything you do, I know you hear it a lot, but you guys are doing an excelent job! Keep your eyes on Jesus! P.S.- Have you ever considered doing something on here in Spanish? I don't know if you will ever be able to do a conference here in Spain, but I think that even if you can't get over here, the teens would be really encouraged by this website if only they could understand it! Especially the modesty survey, and the "Do Hard Things" entries! If you ever wanted to, or needed help translating stuff, my sister and I could translate some things, and maybe even get the Spanish teens excited in doing some hard things for Christ! Well, just an idea! Hey Guys! I’m Kelsey, from Almeria, Spain. You guys asked what the expectations are like in different countries, and I just couldn’t resist!
